[quote=Anonymous]Not really to the point but some may be interested. My parents went to Rice in the early 60s and spoke often about their experiences there. Really bright classmates. Progressive, left-wing student body even back then (my mother’s roommate went to Central America after graduation with a group of social democrats, a student group went to hear Fidel Castro speak when he was in town, etc). At that time, Rice was tuition free for TX residents and accepted only top HS students. Was considered more prestigious than HPYS for TX residents (my Dad got into those schools - he’s pretty brilliant - but went to Rice bc “that’s where the smart people went). Also, Houston is a pretty progressive city too. Yes, it’s TX but there is a real urban/rural divide in politics there. [/quote]
